The resolution entitled “A RESOLUTION CELEBRATING THE FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF DAVAO CITY AS INSURGENCY-FREE” was presented by the Committee on Peace and Public Safety Chair Councilor Luna Acosta and passed before the council during its regular session on Tuesday, March 28.
The resolution also honors the peace-keeping forces from the Agila Division and other units of the security sector for their efforts that resulted in the declaration and the sustained insurgency-free status of the city.
The declaration of Davao City as Insurgency-free was backed by the City Peace and Order Council resolution on June 28, 2022, and City Council Resolution No. 0115-22 on July 19, 2022.
10th Infantry (AGILA) Division Commander Major General Jose Eriel M. Niembra vowed to continue the gains of peace and development not only in Davao City but in the entire area of responsibility of the Agila Division.
Niembra said since the declaration of the city and the whole Davao Region as insurgency-free, they have seen and experienced a boom in tourism, socio-economic activities, infrastructure, and many more.
“We will keep it that way as we stand to safeguard the welfare of all Davaoeños to ensure peace and order," Niembra said.
